It was the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ccc.rochester.edu\/organization\/blackstudentsunion\/about\"><u>Black Students\u2019 Union\u2019s <\/u><\/a><\/strong>\u201cBlackout,\u201d an annual event designed to introduce freshmen to an array of organizations on campus. Upon hearing a BSU member\u2019s elevator speech, she was hooked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had never been a part of an organization that focused on black culture,\u201d says English, a health, behavior and society and African and African-American studies dual major from Bronx, New York. \u201cSo I thought, where else to go but the Black Students\u2019 Union? And it took off after that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rochester\u2019s BSU is one of hundreds of chapters of the National Black Students Union that emerged after the first Black Students Union was founded as a civil rights organization at San Francisco State University in 1966. Established in 1968, Rochester\u2019s BSU today articulates the goals of promoting social and cultural awareness and diversity. Since English joined the group, BSU has played a key role in organizing such events as the Joint Collegiate Black Student Summit; a demonstration aligned with the Black Lives Matter movement and the November 2014 protests in Ferguson, Missouri; and initiatives to improve the racial climate on campus.<\/p>\n<p>A first-generation college student, English didn\u2019t know what to expect, or whom to look to for advice, when she arrived at Rochester as a freshman. But she quickly found that BSU helped fill that void.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pullquote\">Rochester&#8217;s chapter of the Black Students&#8217; Union was founded in 1968, two years after the first chapter was established at San Francisco State University.<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe first meeting you come to, they see a new face and they want to learn everything about you,\u201d English says. \u201cThey say \u2018hey, do you want to get food after this? What classes are you in? Do you need help?\u2019 It was something that came naturally. It wasn\u2019t forced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By the start of her sophomore year, she had also joined the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ccc.rochester.edu\/organization\/dlh\/about\">Douglass Leadership House<\/a><\/strong>, the staff of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/aas\/\">Frederick Douglass Institute for African and African-American Studies<\/a><\/strong>, and the phone team at the Admissions Office. Meanwhile, her peers in the BSU encouraged her to take up her first major campus leadership position as the group\u2019s educational and political chair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d never considered myself a political person before college,\u201d English says. \u201cI feel like black people in college just become political, especially at PWIs,\u201d she adds, using an acronym for predominantly white institutions.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as president of the organization, she says, \u201cIt\u2019s a lot more responsibility. It\u2019s about being diplomatic, and that\u2019s something I\u2019m still learning now,\u201d she says. She laughs, adding, \u201cIt\u2019s a challenge, because I\u2019m really strong in what I believe in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a leader, when I\u2019m working with friends, I try to be friendly. But I will admit, when things aren\u2019t going well\u201d\u2014she smiles, and cocks her head to the side as she pounds the table with her fist.<\/p>\n<p>Her experience in the BSU will help her move forward with her career goal of opening her own non-profit health center back in her home city. She hopes to create a resourceful and welcoming health community in the Bronx\u2014similar to the type of community she has been a part of with BSU.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to create a place where people can say, \u2018this is somewhere you can count on to get resources, to get information, and where you can just go to talk about what\u2019s happening to you.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_219252\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-219252\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219252\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/delvin-moody.jpg\" alt=\"portrait of Delvin Moody\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/delvin-moody.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/delvin-moody-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/delvin-moody-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-219252\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Delvin Moody, President, Minority Student Advisory Board.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>(University photo \/ J.

Moody would hear messages of peace, hope, empowerment, and success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came to believe that I could make a difference, and I could change people\u2019s lives,\u201d the political science and religion double major says. \u201cIt was inspirational.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By 10, Moody was speaking regularly to the congregation, which earned him a front-page Sunday story in the Utica <em>Observer-Dispatch<\/em>. That article led to invitations to speak at churches across New York and as far away as Indiana and Florida. His mother and grandmother accompanied Moody, as he delivered messages of \u201chope and unity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At 11, he gave the keynote speech at Utica\u2019s NAACP Black History Month celebration. At 12, he organized a four-day youth conference through his church. At 16, he attended the United Nations as a youth delegate. And at 17, as a junior at Thomas R. Proctor High School, he helped form Utica\u2019s first Youth Common Council, a legislative body that could make recommendations to the city council and pass its own resolutions.<\/p>\n<p>Moody brought to Rochester the same kind of leadership he brought to his church and hometown. Last year, he envisioned and organized the Joint Collegiate Black Student Summit, a national forum to discuss and develop viable solutions to problems facing the African-American community. Around 300 college students attended, coming from as far away as New Mexico and Indiana. A second summit will take place this year, on Friday, March 3 on the River Campus, with Moody serving as chairman.<\/p>\n<p>He is also president of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ccc.rochester.edu\/organization\/msab\/about\">Minority Student Advisory Board<\/a><\/strong>, a network of nine campus organizations focused on black, African, Latino, and Native American cultures; and chairman of the Students\u2019 Association auditing task force, which analyzes organizational trends and tries to better support student clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Moody calls himself an \u201cadvocate\u201d rather than an \u201cactivist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy church background taught me to help and support others,\u201d he says. \u201cI see needs in our community and remedies to fix things by making systematic changes. Being a youth minister in my church, I always felt called to do this work, but that call was beyond the church.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moody\u2019s mentor was his maternal grandmother, Mary Hawkins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe had no formal education, but she kept me centered when it came to love and selflessness,\u201d he says. \u201cShe\u2019s still my go-to person.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"pullquote\">\u201cIt\u2019s a cancer that America hasn\u2019t fully dealt with, something that\u2019s ingrained in our society. And we need to deal with it.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>His idol is Barack Obama.

When you\u2019re a minority who is running, you wonder, could you put a majority coalition together?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On campus, he leads a full life even outside academics and advocacy.

But it\u2019s motivating.\u2019<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Charlisa Goodlet \u201917<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>President, Douglass Leadership House<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Majors: Political science; African and African-American studies<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Hometown: Rochester, New York<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Charlisa Goodlet \u201817 is clear about what interests her. \u201cNothing excites me more than reading articles about black culture, race, and ethnic politics,\u201d she says. \u201cThese are the foundations of our society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Goodlet is finishing up her second term as the president of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ccc.rochester.edu\/organization\/DLH\">Douglass Leadership House<\/a><\/strong>. DLH, founded in 2012 and named for the abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass, \u201caims to celebrate and raise awareness of the many facets of the black experience, including its culture, politics, history, and Diasporic roots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Goodlet attended a general interest meeting at DLH as a freshman, in the hopes of finding a space on campus where she felt at home. She was hooked, and her commitment to the organization grew stronger under the mentorships of the organization\u2019s first two presidents, Amber-Danielle Baldie \u201915 and Sade Richardson \u201915.<\/p>\n<p>Baldie and Richardson were key organizers of peaceful demonstrations on campus in fall 2014. The demonstrations took place in the aftermath of a Ferguson, Missouri, grand jury\u2019s decision not to indict the police officer who killed unarmed black teenager Michael Brown. Similar events took place at campuses and in cities around the nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s tough work,\u201d Goodlet says of the kind of activism DLH and other campus organizations undertook that year. \u201cBut it\u2019s motivating because there are many people before me who have done the work that has allowed me to be here today, and long after I\u2019m dead and gone there\u2019s going to be someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the end of that academic year, she decided to run for DLH president. She\u2019s honored her mentors by continuing to move the group forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw DLH in another light, extending beyond from where they had taken the organization,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>A priority for Goodlet is helping to strengthen ties between University students and the greater Rochester community. In particular, she would like to see a closer relationship with the 19th Ward, the racially and economically diverse city neighborhood just across the Genesee from the River Campus. A native of Rochester, Goodlet moved with her family to the ward in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of beauty in the 19th Ward, in the home-structures and in the culture,\u201d she says. \u201cMany people feel the Ward is a place of violence and negativity, but every section of Rochester has its own issues with crime.\u201d She believes that if students had a more complete picture of the neighborhood, they would see it as more integral to their lives as students.<\/p>\n<p>Goodlet laments that discussion sometimes turns to gentrification or other efforts to raise property values. She believes instead that a successful integration between University students and local residents ultimately rests on community programming. She cites community gardens, neighborhood forums, and initiatives such as <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wall-therapy.com\/\">Wall\\Therapy<\/a><\/strong>\u2014a Rochester organization that advertises itself as an \u201cart and community intervention project\u201d\u2014as examples.<\/p>\n<p>Goodlet works hard to balance her role as DLH president with her academic work. \u201cWe\u2019re here for school, but the house is bigger than school,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s a contribution to society in a way, which is why it\u2019s so damn stressful to be in a leadership role, but it\u2019s worth every minute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy dream job would combine being a political scientist, lawyer, and writer,\u201d she adds. In the interim, she supplements her coursework with work as a research assistant at the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/college\/kearnscenter\/about\/index.html\">David T.
